Players were heads up on a J♥Q♣9♣ flop when Jim Lovell bet 2,000 from the big blind and got a call from his opponent under the gun.
The 4♥ turn saw Lovell bet 3,000 into the pot and under the gun called again.
The river saw a 7♦ and Lovell fired 6,000, under the gun made the call, and Lovell showed K♣10♠ for a flopped straight. Under the gun mucked their hand while commenting, "That's an action flop."
After the turn came the A♦7♥J♣2♣, Vy Tran checked from under the gun. Her opponent in the cutoff led out for 1,600 and Tran found a call.
While the 10♠ peeled off on the river, Tran took the initiative and fired for a near pot bet of 6,000. After considering his options, her opponent mucked his hand.
Players were heads up on a 9♦7♥Q♣ flop when Ethan Figueroa checked from the small blind into the hijack, who bet around 600 with Figueroa making the call.
The 8♥ turn saw Figueroa make a 1,200 bet, which was quickly called by the hijack.
The A♠ river completed the board and both players checked.
Figueroa turned over A♣A♥9x2x, showing he'd rivered a set of aces. The hijack commented "Two-outer, brutal!" as he mucked his cards.
Action was caught after the flop off 9♣10♦10♠ and the small blind led out for a pot sized bet of 1,300. The big blind was quick to make the call. From the cutoff, Andrei Kaigorodtcev three bet to 3,000. He received a call from only the big blind.
As the turn peeled the 2♠, the big blind checked to Kaigorodtcev. He continued for 3,000 and was rewarded with a quick fold from his opponent.
The under-the-gun player folded and the cutoff raised to 300. The button made a quick call, then small blind three bet to 1,100. The big blind made the call along with the button after the cutoff got out of the way.
A low flop of 8♠2♦3♣ peeled off, and the small blind continued for 2,800. Both subsequent players were fast to fold.

Last year's edition of this event went to Scott Dulaney, who beat out a field of 2,758 entries to win his first bracelet and $194,155 of the $1,406,580 prize pool.
“I’m really excited, kinda reeling at the moment,” Dulaney said afterward. “But I knew it was gonna happen and I plan on winning multiple Omaha bracelets this week, this year. I think all the best Omaha players in the world come from Houston and I’m trying to prove it this summer.”
